Opinion Poll: Endless Emails

Last month’s poll highlighted handling “meeting overload.” A second drain on a productive day for me can be reading and responding to emails.

If you extract time spent attending meetings and responding to email, there is often not much time left to direct the work and manage the staff, let alone think.
